Revived with Care
John Fletcher's Plays on the British Stage, 1885-2020
Introduction
This book presents a ground-breaking, comprehensive study of the modern performance history of plays in the John Fletcher canon, excluding his collaborations with Shakespeare. It examines how seventeen of Fletcher’s plays have been interpreted in British productions.
